In an interview for website www.rockedition.com, the Australian tribute band to Pink Floyd, lauded their performance in Malta as one of their favourite memories so far.

Rockedition carried out the interview with the founding member of the Australian Pink Floyd, Jason Sawford, before the band’s recent concert at the Wang Theatre in Boston.

When asked what have been a few of the band’s favourite times in its history, Mr Sawford mentioned their performance in Malta, in July 2007, as one of the biggest he ever did. The band had performed during the Malta Rock and Jazz Festival.

“I think one of the best gigs I’ve ever done was in the island of Malta, a Mediterranean island. It’s a little, little country. It was a national event; we played to about 15,000 people. When we arrived at the airport, we were front page news! It was incredible! That’s a real good memory of mine. I fondly remember that one,” Mr Sawford told Rockedition.

“I guess it’s always when we did something for the first time, like the first time we played in England. We played for David Gilmour; that was a great memory. The first time we came to the States. That was a very exciting time and the response of the people to the music,” he continued.

Mr Sawford described The Australian Pink Floyd’s show as probably the closest one can get to experiencing what Pink Floyd might have been like today if they hadn’t broken up. The 10 members of the band have spent over two decades perfecting their faithful reproductions of hits like Money, Wish You Were Here, and Comfortably Numb and deeper cuts including Echoes and Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.

A spectacular light show, giant inflatables, and video projections that have lately integrated 3D elements provide the ultimate visual counterpart to the psychedelic textures of the music. Armed with a steadfast commitment to life on the road, The Australian Pink Floyd Show has been winning the praise of Floyd fans the world over.
